Equities or Fixed Income to Reach FIRE?
« on: April 17, 2017, 01:21:46 PM »
Hi all,

I'm in a bit of a fork in the road. I have different types of investments outside of my IRA which includes U.S. stocks (individual stocks), a CEF for preferreds, two foreign ETFs (one in Australia and one for Nigeria), high-yield corporate and two muni bond funds, peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, and I finally bought a rental property. So long story short...I'm trying to reach FIRE within the next five years and as far as the investments excluding real estate and P2P, I've been thinking about just going all in from now on with the muni bond funds because they're tax-free on the Federal side.

Considering things like inflation, etc., if I'm just accumulating shares of those over the next five years, do you think that it's a good route to go? Or should I just pile into the regular stocks I have and bite the bullet on the taxes?
